Do 100% of those 300-400 read the forums? Probably not.

i'm not even in ma and i read the forums

I have often wondered how many of their regular customers read the BB’s every week. Regular meaning flying for 6 months or more. I would guess about 50%.

"..how many of their regular customers read the BB’s every week."
I bet it's closer to 10%. Maybe 15% on a busy week.
And of that I bet only 10-15% respond or post. I read several web boards (for various interests and hobbies) and many of these web forums will show how many times a post has been read. AGW is liek that - as an example. When I've compared the number of times a post has been read with the number of those readers who reply I figure that the average is agina, 10-15%. So IMO people who post are a small percent of a small percentage who even come here.

And, of course, there's the small percentage of those who've downloaded the beta and given their feedback in the following way:
0 fps offline until I upgrade.
Further feedback probably won't happen until they upgrade. :D

Some of us have just been too busy with other things.... hoping to get around to it soon. :D

Then there are alot us who spend more time on the forum than we do playing.

Then again, perhaps there are a lot of players like me who's machine is just far too slow to even test the new version.

That's a good point, maybe there's a way to let others in on the beta 'secret'. Not many people read the boards but I'm thinking that they'd be a little more willing to help with the testing.
Perhaps a way to get the word out oh and quite a few of the players do not speak English fluently. That could also be a factor.
Anyone willing to translate for some folks? :aok
-
IMO a newsletter from HTC (even a brief one is better than none) or even a pop-up "message of the day" for players when they log on would work (or have worked).

I been buying new PC bits and bobs.... Job interview.... downloaded AH 1.99.1 but not even tried it yet... :eek:

You might be right westy, but I would guess higher. One thing for sure you pointed out is more players read than post.

So true. I spend more time on the BB than I do flying. Never thought about that end of it.

Boy I got all the reasonable posters on this all with valid points and no flames or Hijacks :D
Just shows how reasonable people can be on the BBS :aok
